So far I am enjoying it. I am a bit, eh, when it comes to episodic anime. Well, at least you guys say it stops after meeting a certain person. So I am good.

As I right this, about to start episode 8.

A great series overall. I'm not a huge fan of the ending of season 2, and I'm still holding out hope for another season, but it's easily of one my favourites.

I watched the first season...and one episode of the second...that was pretty much it. I liked the first season way better. I don't think they really needed the second.

Same here. I've been bugged a few times by a couple of people to watch it. But my "On Hold" list is so big night now I won't even have the time.

Darker Than Black was pretty good. I however found the second season was a little lacking.

Well it's on Netflix and since JD is down my other shows are getting put on hold. Might as well get started with it after I finish the Film Club's latest movie.

Outside of the November 11 episodes, and perhaps another pair of episode, I thought the first fourteen or so episodes of Darker Than Black were rather poor (especially the first few). After that, it got really good, even epic in the conclusion. Outside of the last batch of episodes in the first season, my favorite episodes were the ones dealing with Huang's past. The OVA's (which I watched next) which were pretty good, as a whole better than the first season but a bit of a letdown after the latter half of the first season. Gemini Of The Meteor is my favorite portion of the series (gave it an 8 on MAL), and it's a big reason to why Hei is one of my favorite characters in all of anime.

Darker Than BLACK, I just posted about you! I can't seem to get away from it . . .

Anyway, I guess I'm in the minority here because I thought the second season was far superior to the first one. It doesn't hurt that I thought the first fourteen episodes were mostly poor, or at best decent, with few exceptions. The first few really sucked. It gets much better after that, really enjoyed Huang's backstory and the conclusion episodes, but on a whole at least half the show wasn't that good. Though, there are plenty other reasons I prefer Gemini. Also, Hei is one of my favorite characters in all of anime.

This was the first action anime I watched and it is one of my favourite animes (as my username suggests). I found the 2nd seasons ending a bit confusing but nothing a bit of research couldn't fix. It really needs a 3rd season. Oh and Hei is awesome, just a shame we couldn't see him use his power much in season 2!

I loved the first season of Darker than Black... but the second season just was meh... Still watched all of it but... But the first was definitely better. I really liked the interaction of Hei and Misaki.... and loved Mao in the first season.... Didn't like him as much as a flying squirrel.

From what I've seen of Season 2, it don't look pretty.

I just finished season one and possibly one OVA (The Fanfiction one.)

Just one question

Spoiler:
Yeah, sorry for reposting this thread, may the other one die .

Well I started this anime. About to watch episode 3 right now. So far I am impressed with the concepts and story direction. The way they introduced the doll was interesting. Needs more Yin however. :p

I didn't like Moe as a squrril in the secound season. The first was better then the secound season by a lot but I would say that if you watch the first season you might as well watch the secound and the OVA's.

If the second season is worse then honestly I'm tempted to drop this. 14 episodes in and I'm not terribly amused. It has its moments but far too often the narrative is just too dull and not much excitement is going on. On top of this, the episodic nature makes it feel like it's not building up to anything, so it just seems like it's going nowhere. I'll give it a little longer I guess.
